ATTI mode for Mavic2 Enterprise.

According to Drone U, DJI has announced a firmware upgrade to the Enterprise that will allow pilots to get in and out of ATTI mode at will (yes, I know about the hacks, but hacking can void your warranty, and possibly your insurance). They didn’t say whether it could be programmed onto a switch. There is one thing I would like to see added to the EVO II: a manual, physical ATTI switch, as on all recent Phantoms. In Australia, the official test for a CASA RePL is supposed to include some tasks in ATTI mode, which is one reason the Phantom is the favoured drone at most flying schools. Can anyone tell me whether there is a similar requirement for licensing in the US or Canada?

It would not be very hard to add ATTI in the App. The X-Star has a physical switch on the controller so Autel knows how to add this to firmware. In Canada when doing your flight review you are asked to fly in and around objects but there is no set rule saying it has to be in ATTI. It all depends on the operating platform being used at the time of the flight review.

Autel could let us program one of those bottom buttons—or change the controller. Just as an example, here’s one thing you have to be able to perform here (there are two others), it’s called the ‘pirouette’. Whilst hovering about 20 metres out and a few metres above a traffic cone, the instructor tells you to switch to ATTI, then reaches over and ‘tweaks’ your left hand stick. You then have to get it back to the hover point without going outside a 4m circle, that means no more than 2m in any direction. You get two attempts. Fail both and you have to do the entire flight test again. It’s a lot of fun in even a slight breeze. We also do your slalom trick, but in ATTI. Finally, you have to take off, fly a circle and land in ATTI. Same rule applies—two attempts at each only.
